decypher street name
« on: Tuesday 28 September 10 19:44 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have tried to find the street name in bethnall green, london
It is from a marriage certificate from 1881.
I have searched for streets beginning with H but so far no luck, the curates hand writing is very poor.

I did a complete search on all Bethnal Green street names in the 1891 census. No name resembles this.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

And I have just been through this list for 1891 - all London street names.

http://www.census1891.com/streets-h.htm.

Is there a chance that it isn't an H at the beginning.

Where were they living on the 1881 census, maybe that will give us a clue

I've been trying to work out the next line...which looks like Beavers Mark!  Guess it could be short for Market...but still can't get anywhere with it

I cannot find Joseph Walton on the 1881 census, this is the reason I'm trying to decypher the address as a link to the census.

Interestingly I cannot find any of the names on the cert other than Frederick Walton on the 1881 census.
